- application filed May a, 1922. Serial no. 558,082.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, llsnao LI'rNEn, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of lBrookl n, in the county of Kings and State of ew York, have invented a new'and Improved Reflector, of which the clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to reflectors, and particularly to an improved reflector capable of receiving a globe as well as an ordinary electric lamp.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple effective construction which will properly diffuse light, and which may readily receive a globe as well as the ordinary electric lamp or bulb. I

Another object of the invention is that of providing a reflector having more than one reflecting surface, one surface intended to reflect the light emitted by the bulb and the other to reflect the light emitted by the globe which receives the reflected light of the bulb.

\ In the accompanying drawingsa- Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through a reflector disclosing an embodiment of the invention; and

Figure 2 is an inverted plan view of the reflector shown in Figure 1,

Referring to the accompanying drawings by numeral. 1 indicates a hood which may have any suitable ornamental appearance, and which is provided with an annular lower end section 2 carrying suitable globe supporting screws 3, whereby a globe 4: may be properly supported.

Associated with the hood 1 is a lower re- Hector 5 and also anupper reflector 6. The lower reflector 5 is provided with an annular frus'to-conical shaped metallic member 7 provided preferably with a bead 8, which bead is soldered or otherwise rigidly sestraddling cured to the annular member 2. The lower edge of the member 7 is provided with a U shaped member 9, preferably of metal which is also preferably soldered to the body or member 7 and presents an inwardly extendin flange 10 designed to receive one end 0 the various reflecting glasses 11. These glasses may be plain mirrors, or may be corrugated as preferred. As indicated in Figure 2 each of the mirrors 11 tapers from the outer end to the inner end, said inner end being held in place by a plurality of fingers 1-2 bent to a proper following is a full,

position said fingers being preferably integral with the annular band or ring 13, which annular band or ring is soldered or otherwise rigidly secured to the annular end section 2. The opposite edge of the band 13 to that carrying the fingers 12 is provided with a comparatively few fingers 14, there being only three shown in the drawlng, but a greater or less number might housed if desired. 1 The fingers 14 act as retaming fingers for retaining the reflector 6 in position. This reflector is of a size to bear against the hood 1 and be supported at the lower end of the fingers 14. This reflector is provided with abody or frusto-conical shaped plate 15 having a turned-over edge '16 at the upper end for holding the upper ends of the reflecting mirrors 17 in place while the lower ends are held in place by a flange 18 extending inwardly from the "Ll-shaped straddling member v19. The straddling member is preferably soldered or otherwise rigidly secured to the-body orplate 15. The hood l is provided with'a suitable clamping member 20 for clamping the hood toan electric bulb socket and to adjustably posi= tion the bulb at a proper point beyond the reflector. lt will be noted that by providmg the inner reflector '6,'substantially all of the light is reflected or thrown out and when the globe 4 is used, is directed into said globe and downwardly or against the reflector 5 and from thence reflected according to the angle of the mirrors 11. The construction in the accompanying drawing not only provides a proper reflector in connection with globe 4, but provides an inner reflector 6 to insure,the proper reflection of most of the light rays and the consequent direction of the light rays to the desired field'to be illuminated. l

"I claim: 7

1. A reflector of the character described, comprising a casing having an annular end section, an annular reflecting member secured to said end section, a ring secured to said end section provided with upper and lower sets of fingers, said annular reflecting member having a plurality of separate mirrors arranged therein engaging the lower set of fingers, whereby said fingers assist in retaining said mirrors in place, and an inner annular reflecting surface engaging the other of said fingers so as to be held in place thereby.

2. A reflector of -the character described,

1 0 second set comprising a casing having an annular end section, an annular reflecting member secured to said end section and provided with a plurality of removable mirrors, a ring secured to said end section having fingers overlapping said mirrors and retaining the same in place, said ring having an upper set of fin ers, .an annular reflecting member arrange in said casing and supported by said of fingers. I

3. In a device of the class described, a

place by said fingers for reflecting light into 20 the globe. and from the globe.
